I'm not trying to uncover the facts of my life but to discover the dramatic truth of the situations I was in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are a lot of things I never did, because I believe in watching those true Hollywood stories and I see how easy it is to lose track of your life.
In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.
I wanted to tell my story in a way I haven't done before, things I've been going through in my life.
I look at life, the experiences I've had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us.
For me, stories were brothers, sisters and friends, filling the long hours between childhood and adolescence, holding up a true mirror in which I might find out who I was rather than a distorted reflection of who I was expected to become.
I spent 12 years doing different things in film trying to figure out the story I wanted to tell.
My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.
I'm just basically telling a story of my life.
I told my whole life story in my book.
Making fake biography, false history, concocting a half-imaginary existence out of the actual drama of my life is my life.
